First it was chip sealing that damaged Petersburg vehicles.
Now it’s messy road paint on some of those same roads.
Motorists are complaining about the state of Alaska’s road painting job this week, with bright yellow line paint smeared along several state roads.
The paint has also stained some vehicles and spread in yellow footprints and tire tracks.
